Waste Energy Corp. has entered the final commissioning phase of its Midland Waste Conversion Infrastructure Campus in Texas, with commercial operations targeted for mid-September 2026
According to Waste Energy, its lead commissioning engineer arrived in Midland on August 4 to begin final system integration, testing and start-up activities for its first commercial waste conversion system, including processing waste tyre feedstock and producing marketable fuels, recovered carbon products, recyclable steel and other commodities.
The commissioning follows Waste Energy’s recent receipt of a five-year registration approval from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for its Midland facility. The approval, issued under Title 30 of the Texas Administrative Code, Chapter 328, runs through July 2031 and provides the regulatory foundation for the company’s operations at the site.
According to Waste Energy, obtaining the approval followed approximately a year of site planning, engineering, application preparation and regulatory coordination. The company said it intends to pursue additional authorisations as it expands the Midland campus and broadens its processing capabilities.
The Midland facility is the first commercial waste conversion system in Waste Energy’s planned Texas network and the company intends to use the site as the basis for developing additional facilities in other high-volume waste markets.
On July 25, Waste Energy participated in a Permian Basin community tyre recycling and beautification event, helping divert more than 1,200 end-of-life tyres from potential landfill disposal and illegal dumping.
The company continues to target commissioning of its first commercial waste conversion system in mid-September 2026. “This announcement represents the next chapter in the development of our Midland Waste Conversion Infrastructure Campus,” said Scott Gallagher, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Waste Energy Corp.
